About this map

The Pemigewasset River flows southward through the heart of this landscape, separating the high peaks of Plymouth Mtn and Bridgewater Mtn from the settled valley floor. To the east, the village of Ashland sits at the confluence where the Squam River drains Little Squam Lake into the main river channel, a point marked by the Grist Mill Pond. This area shows a complex transition between the river's industrial past and the residential growth around its peaks, such as Peaked Hill and Hicks Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the terrain, from the Green Grove Cem in the north to the Webster Cem located further south along the riverbanks. The western edge of the map is defined by the shoreline of Newfound Lake near Bridgewater, where Whittemore Brook and Dick Brown Brook drain from the steep highlands into the basin. The road network, including Old Stage Coach Rd and New Hebron Rd, reflects the historic transit routes between these hillside settlements.
